A member asked:
Ct scan of chest finds biapical pleural parenchymal fibrosis in the lungs. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a pulmonologist.: Biapical means at the top of the lungs. The pleura is the lining of the lung. Parenchyma is the lung tissue itself. And Fibrosis is scarring. There are many potential causes of this condition. But since fibrosis itself is not a good diagnosis I would recommend seeing a Pulmonologist ASAP.
